Legacy control systems such as RS3 Rosemount, which are approaching the end of support, cannot keep pace with users’ automation and business growth, while the cost of maintaining them continues to rise. Honeywell offers a cost-effective migration from RS3 Rosemount systems by Emerson to Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS), an advanced control solution that improves productivity and profitability and provides industry leading investment protection.

What Is It?

What is it

​Experion PKS is the only process automation system designed to manage users’ business, processes, and assets – all in one unique system. It takes process automation well beyond distributed control system (DCS) functionality with an advanced process automation platform solution and innovative application integration designed to improve business performance.

How Does It Work?

How it works

​Honeywell offers Rosemount system users a number of migration solutions. Users can opt to simply replace the user interface, benefitting from an innovative and flexible operating environment that can help reduce abnormal situations, or go for complete hardware migration that can be performed without disrupting the process while saving intellectual property.

In order to determine the most efficient and cost-effective migration solution, Honeywell offers a system assessment of each user’s specific requirements. The assessment includes:

Whitepaper describes the process of moving from a decentralized, multiple operations organization to one common, centralized operation running from a single control center by moving to the latest Experion technology. In 2002, Borregaard's pulp & paper operation in Sarpsborg, Norway, started a five-year project focused on centralizing process automation under a single control center, including replacement or interfacing of existing Foxboro IA, Fisher-Rosemont RS3, Emerson DeltaV and PLC-based systems and get into the latest Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) technology, as well as migrating outdated, third-party Distributed Control System (DCS) and Programmable Logic Control (PLC)-based systems to a common automation platform.
